Give your lawn a fresh start this fall with our complete Fall Lawn Recovery Package. We take care of mowing, dethatching, debris cleanup, overseeding with quality grass seed, soil topdressing, and applying a fall starter fertilizer – everything your lawn needs to go into winter strong and come back lush and green in spring.
What it is:
Dethatching is the process of removing the thick layer of dead grass and roots (thatch) that builds up on a lawn. This layer can block air, water, and nutrients from reaching the soil and weaken grass over time.
Why it’s needed:
When thatch becomes too thick, the lawn struggles to grow, looks patchy, and becomes more prone to weeds and disease. Removing thatch opens the soil, giving grass space to grow stronger and healthier.
When to do it:
The perfect routine for a healthy lawn is to dethatch twice a year — once in the spring and again in the fall. This keeps the thatch layer under control, helps grass absorb water and nutrients, and supports steady growth through the season.
If dethatching is done only once a year, in Ottawa, the fall is the best time. Grass recovers quickly in cooler weather, overseeding establishes better, and the lawn enters winter strong and green.
